Vin de France "Hespérides" 2022 - Famille Roux

Hespérides is an orange wine from Famille Roux, made from 100% Aligoté hand-harvested from clay and silt soils at 300 to 350 metres in the Saunt-Aubin area. It ferments exclusively in amphora without added sulphites and macerates on the skins for about 10 months. Golden yellow with orange hues, it shows honey, tropical fruit, hazelnut and dried nuts, followed by ethereal and spicy notes. On the palate it is soft and full, warm, savoury and pulpy, delicately tannic and pleasantly aromatic. It suits intense, savoury dishes such as chicken curry, spicy fish and Middle Eastern cooking.
